User colors on your Push!!!

[DRTYWRKS]

I started to get really excited about learning python better so I could do more with my push, but having this much trouble doing simple color changes has somewhat discouraged me... I'm usually pretty good at this sort of thing. What am I doing wrong!!

I can't seem to get the file to work either. I placed it in the correct directory and then restarted live without success. My push just remains on the screen "Please start live to play..."

same here.

this is a fresh 9.05 install, btw.

have either of you tried different SkinDefault.py customizations with any success? i doublechecked and the file in the git repository is identical to the one i'm using in my Remote Scripts > Push directory.

you might try working stepwise - fresh install > make sure push works normally > download the decompiled python script with default colors (found HERE) > put it in the Push directory and make sure it works > replace with my file and see if it works. and be sure at all times never to mess with any of the .pyc files in the Remote Scripts > Push directory, or add anything to it besides the SkinDefault.py file.

let me know if you make any headway, or not.

if you think it's a problem with the code you're inserting, maybe you could post your file here so we could take a look? make sure to put it inside the "code" BBCode tags to preserve formatting...

actually, i just got it to work.

i downloaded the files as a zip from github (had individually downloaded the python script), restarted live and boom it worked.

i don't know why that distinction would make a difference but that's literally the only change i did after trying half a dozen times with the individually downloaded python file.

edit: just realized i didn't actually delete the .pyc file.

However I did also try your file posted above. So it doesnt work either way. The only section I changed here was the class instrument. Did I code it right? Syntax wise that is. Also I edited this in notepad.. Does this method work? I saved the file as "SkinDefault.py"

[thekillingtree]

are you on a windows machine?

this was the link i used that worked (the same seapush files): https://github.com/mrk/seapush/archive/master.zip

[DRTYWRKS]

using Thekillingtree's method I got it to work. Like him I too was just saving the link as rather than downloading the zip.. This now works... My next question is, how I can I edit this file to worth with the colors I choose. What editor should I be using. Thanks for the solution! 'Preesh.

Also bravo beautiful color choice. So much more relaxing, but alas I must have lime green.

awesome, i'm glad it worked for you! i had remembered having this issue before downloading from github.

you should be able to just edit the skindefault.py file in notepad (if you're on pc) or textwrangler if you're on a mac.

[triant]

awesomeness all around!

just use the color names listed earlier in this thread as a starting point.

i noticed in your code you had something like

Code: Select all

... = Rgb.LIME(17)

- i'm not sure what that means. you either want it to just be

Code: Select all

Rgb.LIME

or else

Code: Select all

Rgb.LIME.highlight()

or

Code: Select all

RGB.LIME.shade(1)

or

Code: Select all

Rgb.LIME.shade(2)

(substituting any other valid color keyword for 'LIME' of course).

good luck! show us your final product!

Got it to work and I've begun customization, I copied the code in a post from the first page, but I understand why my files weren't compiling before. I was using those invalid numbers inside the parenthesis.

Thanks again guys!

WISH1:

Can you try doing this the way DRTYWRKS did? Download as a zip, extract, and dump it into the folder?

Having some trouble now. I have been using user colors since i got my push, but now it says "please start live to play..." even when I deleted the skindefault.py (custom colors). Does anyone think it might help to restore the midi remote script folder and start fresh? If so, does anyone have the default files? I might have failed taking backup when i originally started playing around with user colors..

edit: I am on mac. If that has any impact on anything

[fishmonkey]

did you restore the original SkinDefault.pyc file?

if you need copies, you can get them straight from the Live installer...

as far as i am aware it was there all the time. Both the original and the user one. But thanks, i will get the live installer once the internet is up and running in my apartment

[molefonken]

anyone knows the code for dark orange?
